And how the US wants to fix it. Use code SEARCHPARTY at the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/searchparty China and Taiwan are preparing for war. China’s leader, Xi Jin Ping, has overseen one of the most dramatic military build-ups in history and has ordered his military to be ready to invade by 2027. Meanwhile, many believe Taiwan is not ready, including the United States. After decades of selling Taiwan some of its best weapons, the US government is now urgently pressuring Taiwan to change its strategy. This video explains what’s wrong with Taiwan’s plan to fend off a Chinese invasion and how the United States wants to fix it.
